I was just looking on the forums about how most babies have ears that point up but they flop as they get older. My guinea pig is about three years old and his ears don’t flop, he’s always been like this so I’m sure nothings wrong, but I wanted to know if anyone else had some input on it.

Hi guys, My youngest pig is having an issue with her ear at the moment, and with current events it is difficult to get the the vets to get her checked out. She has a small spot on the inside of her ear that has bled for (as far as we know) the past couple of days on and off. We have cleaned it...

On Tuesday, we got two little 6 weeks old boars from pets at home. We have noticed a very very slight head tilt on Boris, so we decided to check his ears. When we used a cotton bud to check it, it came out as a really dark brown coloured substance. When we checked the other ear, it was a bit...

Hi! So, I fed my guinea pig this morning, and I noticed that she did something strange that I hadn’t noticed ever before. She flattened her ears against her head and they moved up and down constantly while she was eating. I hope this doesn’t mean anything bad. Thank you, your help is much...

I have had a female guinea pig named Macy for nearly two years, I got her by herself because my parents only let me get one at the time. Recently I got a baby guinea pig (female as well) and she is only two months. I was expecting it to be a bit difficult with Macy as she's been alone for so...

Last night when I was cage cleaning I noticed flakes on Gizmos ear. Upon closer inspection realized on top of the flakes were 2 red bumps they seemed to be trying to scab over. Initially I thought it was a scratch wound but that wouldn’t cause flaky-ness. I did some research and at the time it...

Hello, I am new to the forums so this is my first thread! Anyway, my guinea pig has a little bit of brown crusty stuff on his ear! I am always super paranoid about my piggies so this is really scary for me! Please help if you can!

My 6 week old female piggy has a dry area on her ear and a little rash looking area behind her ear. She lives in a 3 story 100 guinea pig cage with another guinea pig from the same breeder that is 5 weeks old. I got them together a week ago. They have displayed what I would consider normal...

Hello guys, I'm new to this site but I thought I would give it a shot if it meant i could receive some advice to help my guniea pig. I just noticed yesterday that both sides of my guinea pigs ear has really dry skin, and under the ear it seems to already be raw flesh. It's very red and seems to...

Hi I noticed that my pig Spike has started developing dry patches on the back of his ears that are sometimes flaky? There are no signs of mites. Has anyone had this with a pig before?

Hello! Sorry I couldn't find anything specific about this so I had to ask I got a new guinea pig, I think he's about 3 or 4 months old. I rescued a very skinny, runt baby last year and he also had very veiny ears and suddenly passed away the next month.. I don't want the same thing to happen to...

Hi guys, I recently took my guinea pigs to the vet because they are both losing hair behind their ears and itching all over. The doctor prescribed me ear drops because they found bacteria in their ears that is known for ear infections. This is what it looks like: I wanted your eyes second...
